MA Cooke Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Anyone possibly have tips or suggestions? 1/48 Tamiya F-14, unable to get the canopy windscreen piece back the way its supposed to fit. It was tacked on for painting, amd fit great, but trying to get it back has me about to swear off ever building another kit. (Plus, I lost the PE overhead ejection handle for ghe pilot's seat.)

Danny FXDC Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Have you made sure you scrapped off whatever glue you used to tack it on? Also check for paint buildup on the mating surfaces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've masked and painted another windscreen from another Tamiya Cat. So I'll have to replace it at some point down the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Order a replacement from Tamiya USA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Krol Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Can't you add some thin plastic strip to the edge then sand to fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
